INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — It’s an annual tradition for some, making the trek down interstate 65 from Indianapolis to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby

Indiana State Police are warning drivers to leave the racing to the horses, buckle up and drive sober.

State police say they are stepping up patrols and will be keeping an eye on the traffic flow north and south.

It's #DerbyWeekend which means people are flocking to #ChurchhillDowns

Slow down and leave the racing to the horses. Buckle up..phone down..drive sober.#Verifying is my pick for the win on Saturday. Who do you have for the #KentuckyDerby crown? pic.twitter.com/eWQq2ixCgT
